Acer’s Steam Deck competitor is revealed to be the Nitro Blaze

Acer’s Steam Deck competitor is revealed to be the Nitro Blaze

The rumored Acer handheld is real, and it’s a curious device. The new Acer Nitro Blaze falls somewhere between the Asus ROG Ally and Ally X in terms of power, but no price or availability details have yet been announced, so it’s hard to judge in terms of value right now.

We managed to take a sneak peek at Nitro Blaze following Acer‘s presentation at IFA 2024. It’s very thin, and the display looks great up close, but the decision to paste decals across the front of the handheld ruins the aesthetic.
